Please do not just randomly start making posts to increase you post count so that you can make a post. We will realize this if you start doing this and start removing those posts.
We do this for a reason. We do not want users coming to the web site just to post or buy items, only to leave and never to return again.You can view and purchase from the "For Sale" section of the forum but to post, we want to know who you are. You could be some flim-flam man from across the internet out to make an easy buck on a sucker. 100 posts means not only that you have to put in at least a cursory effort into being an active member of the community but also means that people have a way to gauge your trustworthiness. Trustworthiness does increase with the number of posts and the length of membership.

CLOSED: SpinnUL group buy

For those of you who have wanted to make your own SpinnUL tarp, but could not justify paying more for the fabric than a complete tarp would cost, here is your chance:

Warbonnetguy has agreed to provide the DIYers on this forum with his SpinnUL at $15/yard. The fabric is 59" wide and weighs between 0.95 and 1.0 oz/yd^2. To make this happen, we will have to get at least 50 yards. Brandon will ship the fabric to me, I will cut it and send it out. The final price per yard is going to be a bit over $15/yd, depending on the shipping cost from Brandon to me. I will charge actual shipping cost for each package.

Is this just good for tarps? I was thinking of making a DIY topquilt. Would it be good for that? Or should I just use the 1.1oz ripstop I've got.

I wouldn't use it for a quilt, but it does have plenty of uses. I use a bishop bag made of Spinn for my Traveler and I use mostly Spinn stuff sacks on long hikes. I've also made a pack cover with it, but I almost never take it because of my love for the Packas. Bet you could make a Packa out of it. Oooooo, that would be nice and light.

Oh, who am I'm I kidding. I like to modify stuff, but I hate sewing projects. Which is weird because my mother loved to sew. Apparently I didn't get that gene. Please take me off of this deal. I'd order it then just end up selling it to someone else here! Even though I'm not going to take part, thanks for organizing the group buy, S.
